Brake pads are essential components of a vehicle’s braking system, designed to create friction against the brake rotor or drum. These flat, metal-backed plates feature a friction material that, when the brake pedal is pressed, gets pressed against the spinning rotor through hydraulic pressure from the brake caliper. This action generates the necessary stopping force to decelerate or halt the vehicle. Due to regular wear from friction, brake pads should be frequently inspected and replaced to maintain safe braking performance. performance
